Personally I had no expectations  for this show.  I know that Peter Gabriel was once a member of Genesis and I knew I would recognize a few of his songs, but the real reason I came to this show was simply because I love the Hollywood Bowl.

Video Concert Review

Of course it was a wonderful evening at the bowl as usual and thankfully the music was pretty good too.  The orchestra and additional singers were amazing.  The atmosphere was of a different era and had I been a decade older I could see this being a truly amazing show.  The crowd was into it and for YTC that’s what counts.

I highly recommend the show even if you don’t enjoy Peter Gabriel’s new album.
